One of the best Bourbons of the year, this time at cask strength.

Iron Smoke Distillery is a fairly new addition to the craft distilling community located in Upstate New York. In that part of the state they grow a lot of apples. So it is only natural that this local crop would have an impact on the spirits they produce. Currently, there are four products in the Iron Smoke family — Iron Smoke Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Iron Smoke Casket Strength, Rattlesnake Rosie's Apple Pie Whiskey and Rattlesnake Rosie’s Maple Bacon Whiskey.

One of the limited edition release is Iron Smoke CASKet Strength. It might be hard to think that you could improve on their Straight Bourbon — after all, it won Double Gold at the North American Bourbon & Whiskey Competition and was rated 95.5 in the 2018 edition of Jim Murray’s Whiskey Bible. But the good folks at Iron Smoke realized that if their award-wining Bourbon was great at 40% ABV, it would be even better at cask strength. And that’s exactly what they did. Iron Smoke Casket Strength is a powerhouse at 60% ABV (120 proof).

Smartass corner:
The company mascot has always been “Skully.” This powerful Bourbon at cask strength made the pun “CASKet Strength” irresistible.

Appearance / Color

Fiery Bronze

Nose / Aroma / Smell

The aroma is vary powerful… you can smell the raw Bourbon spice along with the vanilla, hot toffee, and wild western herbal notes with a bit of apple.

Flavor / Taste / Palate

Even if you drink your Whiskey straight, this Bourbon blooms with a single ice cube — revealing notes of pecan pie, braised apples, caramel apples, thick baking spices, and tobacco smoke.

Finish

The finish is long, spicy, and lightly sweet.

This is very strong whiskey. It is not like a Kentucky bourbon it is more like a Mezcal. I do not like smokey liquors so this was not a favorite. I should have know from the name but gave it a try because I like cask strength whiskeys.

This had the most tempting aroma! It is sweet and full of flavor, nutty pie, with a follow up of oak that has a bite at the end. Really enjoyed it!

Absolutely Fantastic!

Looks like someone just dropped a rating and dashed! No comment provided.

I’m confused by the positive...

I’m confused by the positive reviews on this one. It smells pretty nice at the outset and you expect that to reciprocate on the back end, but this disappoints given the price. Similar to the garbage-fire that is Rogue Dead Guy Whiskey, this has one of the worst aftertastes out of any whiskey/bourbon I’ve ever tasted. The flavor is reminiscent of a ream of paper that has been mixed in a blender with water. Of course, if that’s your thing, you’ll enjoy it ;)
